PROrlT-SHARING DODGE.
| Socialist View of the Device for
 Ouieting Labor.

N"'N'''S
 Apropos of the prominence lately riven to the practice of protit-shar- ng, by no means thew idea, the iol- owing will be interesting to our eaders. It is the tran8lator's pre- ace to "Jakoby on the Object of he Labor Movement, now m press, nd soon to be issued by the New ork Labor News Company;
 Socialists differ from Jakoby in his es- mate of protit-sharing, finding It a ,easure irrational in theory and reac- lonary in its practical working, q trick f the employer to divert the attention [ the workers from their class interests. All profit Is produced by labor, Is in he ultimate analysis unpaid labor. The vorkers' share would therefore naturally ,e the whole of the profit But under ,lr present system the workmen have 10 claim upon any part of 1t. The whole ,elongs legally to the capitalist, and the rorkers cannot well find any logical ar lment for claiming part of what IS 1htfully theirs and iegalIy another's. If ley insist upon having the whole of hat is their own they insist upon the Dcial Revolution, for no measure less ldical can secure it for them But If ney consent to be bought off by their lunderers with share of the booty ney assume position which is not con 'ucive to the speedy abolition of legal ed robbery.
 In practice proft-sharing has been characterized as emhodying the principle f the fly on the window pane which, ,eing close to the eye, shut out the view f the dome of St. Peters. For profit haring has been found by shrewd em ployers to occupy the minds of workers with petty economies and with watching ach other in order to insure the larges ,ossible share" to the exclusion of largel considerations of class interest. Ina his is the real object of the arrangement s indicated by two facts. It IS in the 'mploying class and not in the working lass that profit sharing finds its apostles md this is an unfailng danger signal Ind in the second place, it is adopte' hiehy by certain class of employers t whom it offers especial advantages il he struggle for existence. The mos powerful monopoles do not share thei ,rofits with their employees because the, ,o not especially need 10 attach tn hands to the "conCern." Employers O abor upon a small scale cannot as a rul hare profits with their employees, thei margin is too small It k the middl lass of employers who, hard-pressed [, ght the large capitalists on the on and and the labor organizations on tn, tIer, are thankful to try peace witt leir own employees upon upon sucl vorable terms as proiit-sharing offers.
 Socialists therefore do not recomme, rotit-sharng. If enlightened worker rcept it when offered they are no hereby blinded; they do so with fuI understanding that the tritling increas n their annual income is merely tn rice which employers gladly pay fo ecided advantages obtained in the econ my and intensity of the labor thus pail IT. But Socialists do not, with Jakohy ecognize profit sharing as means to eaceful solution of the labor question.

But then we suppose 'tis "human nature," at least the kind manifested in this age of semi-barbarc selfish ness. -Hvttord Eramtner.

Another Sten FORWARD.

The decision of Justice Bradley, of
the Supreme court of the United States,
dissolving the injunction issued by
Chancellor McGill, of New Sersey, re
straining the erection of the Staten Is
land bridge by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company, is something more
than the settlement of the right of the
company to procred with the work for
which it was eDjoined. 1t is another
step forward to National supremacy
and another definition restricting the
powers of the state in matters of inter-
state concern. Congress has the power
and may authorize the building of
bridges. either by individuals or corpo-
rations, and may confer the power upon
State corporations. 1t was in the in
terest of interstate commerce that the
rights in question were granted. and
hence they are held valid
1t was strenuously denied by the
state of New Jersey that Congress had
any power in the premises. The plea
was that the State had control of the
waters over which the proposed struct-
ure was to be built, and that the con-
sent OF the Commonwealth was hecessa-
ry to give the railroad company legal
right to proceed. The answer to this
position is direct and pointed: "The
power of Congress was supreme over
the whole subject" The consent of a
State may sometimes facilitate power,
but it never can grant it. 1t is a mani
festation of comfy and good will, but,
when withheld for insufficient reasons,
amounts TO nothing. The power of
congress extends to more than the navi+
gable waters, where the purposes of
commerce are involved. 1t includes the
construction of piers, wharves. and all
other instrumentalities in commerce.
1t is scarcely to be doubted that this
will be held to be good law. The decis,
ion is in line with others of like import,
all tending to the same conclusion. The
authority of the United States is su-
preme in everything pertaining to the
regulation of commerce. That power
extends to every species of commercial
intercourse between the United States
and foreign Nations and among the
several states. 1t knows no State
boundaries, but extends wherever there
is reason for its exercise.

The German Flag in Africa.

The German flag now floats over fourteen
white stations, and district twice as large
as Prussia today admits the sovereignty of
Emperor William; but the German pioneers
have secured for their country still further
advantages In the recent treaty between
Germany and England the immense region
between Victoria Nyanza and Kilima-Njaro
on the north, and Nyassa and the Roouma
river on the south, and from the Indian
ocean west to Tanganyika, is designated as
the zone of German interests into which Eng
land agrees not to intrzIde. This vast domain
joins the Congo independent state. and to-
gether they form wide belt across the con-
tinent from sea to sea, in which hundreds of
white men are now striving with all their
might to find what benefits equatorial Africa
may be made to confer upon the world.
These Germans have in view a broadly con-
ceived and clearly defined plan, whose practi-
cability it is their first purpose to test
thoroughly 1t is their belief that large
plantations for the culture of cotton, tobacco,
sugar, rice and other products may be devel-
oped on these uplands with the aid of native
labor, and that when means of comInunica-
ton with the coast have been perfected a
large amount of capital may find profitable
employment. All their stations are scenes of
agricultural activity and training schools for
native workmen About GOO acres gre in
crops, practical farmers and gardeners are
experimenting with all the tropical and Euro
pean grains, vegetables, fruits and nuts, the
stables are filed with cattle, goats, asses and
fowls and several hundreds of workmen,
whose native systems of irrigation and many
herds and fields show that they are not
wholly lacking in skill and industry, are be-
ing trained in white methods of manual
labor Thus the German East African
society is striving to open new fields for home
enterprise, to instruct and elevate the natives,
and it is not without hope that some portions
OF its domain may prove to be adapted to the
needs of German colonists-New York Sun.

The Fashions in Dogs.

] have often wondered whence issue such
mysterious mandates as: 'fNewfoundlands to
be called in "St. Bernards to be all the rage"
so that one breed succeeds another in fash
IONS esteem, and literally, 'every dog has his
day." Old style dogs disappear as completely
as ''the flowers that bloom in the spring"
At present you are allowed huge st. Ber-
nard of the pure Swiss stock to stroll beside
baby's cab, and to guard baby while white
capped Marie hlrts with the policeman in the
park You may be followed by team-two
there must be-of English pugs, harnessed in
dark red leather studded with brass For
house protection the black and tan is fashion
able, but he must be tiny as rat and of the
costliest breed
For the house, too, gray poodles are just
coming in; but the thing is the japanese dog,
which closely resembles an ape, with white
and yellow clinging hair. He is simply sub
lime in his ugliness. Nowadays fashionable
woman might as well be out of the world as
out of a dog, but his style Of beauty must be
carefully studied in selecting collar. Much
depends on this In nothing does parvenu
SO brand herself parvenu as in this particu-
lar, selecting, for instance, the costliest of
jeweled gold collars for Japane dog whose
style of severe simplicity demands only a rib
bon. Poodles and other long haired dogs are
now dyed to match the favorite costume of
their mistress-Cor. Pioneer Press

1t has been the habit Of some to speak and
write slightingly of cooking in the south.
The itinerant journalist travels through a
southern state, stops az a railway station,
buys cup of badly prepared coffee and a
sour roll, or hastily bolts a wretchedly cooked
dinner; jots down his unfortunate experience
in his notebook, and at his nextsleeping place
writes his letter to the northern daily or
weekly; graphically portrays the barbarities
of southern cooking, and would almost per-
suade his readers that he is journeying in a
land outside the pale of civilization The
man vino keeps the eating house may be, like
himself, q stranger to the south, stopping
there only for the purpose of making money;
or he may be as inefficient as some who pre-
side at similar houses in the north, since even
there railway station dinner is not often
the most tempting meal to a discriminating
palate.
But the mind of the journalist Is in no
mood to appreciate conditions; he must seize
upon facts. During his journey he has not,
perhaps, entered one southern home, has not
been once seated at family table With
the capricious gods of the station and the
saloon he has had some dealings, but the
lares and penates of the southern freside
have neither welcomed him nor revealed
themselves to him. What, then, does this
Munchausen know of southern cooking and
southern tables?-Zitella Cooke in American

Photographing Criminals.

In my business we learn TO detect the foibles
and weakness of men and women, but in the
jail you would not expect to find any vanity
in the matter of personal appearance. Never
theless there are many prisoners who take
pride in securing good negative Ordinary
prisoners never object to the process of
"mugging," because they are too ignorant TO
understand the advantage of a picture in the
hands of the police. High toned crooks from
the east always object. Maxwell will sit all
day for you and then take the negatives and
examine them critically, as he is something
of professional, having dabbled III chem
icals at home have twelve different pict-
ures of him and he would cheerfully sit for
as many more if gave him a chance. So
phia Lyons, the famous New York shop litter,
cried and raved like fury when brought be-
fore me, but finding the detectives inexora-
bic, she dried her eyes, primped her hair ad-
justed her bonnet, dabbed little powder on
her cheeks and told me 10 go ahead, that, if
she couldn't help it, she would have good
portrait. Jane Cosley, another big shop
litter, sat smiling as sweet as an angel, after
having made desperate fight, clawing like a
catamount, and her face is one of the pretti-
est in my collection.-Police Photographer in
